How would YOU rate Hank McCoy: The Beast -as an Avenger- on a scale of 10?

You MIGHT feel compelled to judge him by Volume #'s as his personality/priorities/professionalism MAY have changed considerably between his various runs as an active Avenger? Whatever you like. Ranging from bouncing/bombastic/brilliant to bumbling/bothersome/blathering under different writers' pen.

Beast (and other Avengers) recent comments on Time Travel in Old Man Logan #19:

10! The Beast was a big character when he was an Avenger! He was a fan favorite! He looked great (Byrne and Perez) and he was a hipster, ladies man, comedian on the team! He was a great character in some of the best Avengers comics ever!

That's a tough call. I love the beast as a character in his own right, and an X-Man (most of the time), and as a member of the Illuminati.

But as an Avenger, I can't recall a lot of good stories there. He's a smart guy, but he was often written as a goofball so Iron Man could step in and be the smart guy.

That's why he worked though. He could enjoy himself as an Avenger and could lift their spirits. As an X-Men he's over worked, under appreciated and he lurches from hellish nightmare to hellish nightmare IMO.
